I've survived 60 years of jokes and snerks regarding my nickname (Dick). I
am sure you can handle it.

I've done well enough. There have been times though....

But, just for the record .... where exactly did I "mock" your name?

I recall writing "Prick (or whatever your name is)". I did so because I
suspected (and still do) that you are in reality another person who used to
post here regularly.

I take at face value your saying you were not mocking my name, and
apologize for criticizing you unfairly.
As to my name, you can suspect what you will.
I have given a brief history of my family name in reply to Mr. Schnautz.
I am always exactly who I claim to be.
Years ago - at least a decade - I made some number of posts to various
groups, and some may have been cross posted here.
You might find some by looking for "Peter" or "Pete."
But I don't remember what I posted. I was often drunk.
I did not use the Prick family name then. Too many fights.
I only recently "rediscovered" usenet and after browsing this group
found it an interesting study in newsgroup dynamics.
I was initially interested in buying another boat, but that desire has
dissipated somewhat after reading this group, which might be more
appropriately called rec.anything.but.boats.
Doesn't matter really. There is a wide variety of personalities here,
spanning the wacko spectrum.
I like that, as it reflects real life.
Hopefully, I can get along here, and make a few pals.
Then when I get a boat, organize some raft ups.
Wouldn't it, after all, be a delightful sight to behold Harry, Loogy,
John, and Scotty sitting around a shore site campfire, singing "Michael
Rowed the Boat Ashore," with Loogy and Scotty doing the chorus while
strumming their Fenders, John singing bass, Harry singing tenor?
Maybe Froggy could do some background croaking for atmosphere if no real
frogs are calling, and jps could cuss sotto voce, adding a bit of
rhythm.
There are many, many arrangement possibilities.
I think that's an admirable goal for a group participant to strive for,
and that's the type of boater I would like to be.
I'm sure many here agree with my get-along sentiments.
They just don't want to come out of the protective shells they have
constructed around themselves.
But they are basically good people.
Just takes a little sing-along to bring the good elements out.
A few cases of beer helps too.
But sing-along to get-along is a good motto.
I sure hope Jesse Jackson never said that.

What a long bull**** story...

Scotty
